THE BEATLES - 'WHITE ALBUM'
1968 UK 1st PRESSING *STEREO* LP
**'WIDE-SPINE' NEAR MINT COPY**
This Near Mint stereo pressing was the amongst final bach of 1st pressings before the deletion of the 'Sold in UK..' text in mid-1969.
By the time this copy was shipped from the factory the supply of black inners was exhausted & white 'Patent nos.' inner-sleeves were used.
Both discs & all components are totally original from this set as purchased by the original owner and have not been switched.
This UK late 1st STEREO pressing is on the dark green Apple labels: PCS 7067/8All labels carry the 'Sold in UK..' and have 'Apple Records..' rim texts.
The 'An EMI Recording' statement is included on all labels.
There is no tax/price code visible on any label.
Housed in a fully laminated, top-loading 'Garrod & Lofthouse' stereo 1cm 'wide' spine cover numbered: No. 0588302.
Complete with original white inners, matt 'Garrod & Lofthouse' poster, four 'thick' card colour photos.
Matrix numbers: YEX 709-1, 710-1, 711-1, 712-2
Stamper numbers: 6/LD, 2/LH, 3/GHM, 1/GOP

Visual: NEAR MINT
All surfaces are in pristine condition with just a few inner-sleeve marks visible on side 4 visible in strong daylight.
Viewed directly under a halogen lamp, all sides are in perfect condition with no hairlines, marks or scratches to any side.
An amazing set of discs which will not disappoint.
Audio: NEAR MINT
Played only three times, both discs play & sound 100% 'as new' with no deterioration to the sound quality on any track.
All run-ins, bands play silently and the quiet sections play cleanly & clearly with no clicks, pops, hiss or other interference anywhere.
(N.B: I never grade anything played as 'Mint')
Cover: NEAR MINT
Pristine, clean & un-yellowed example retaining a perfect glossy, unscratched laminate all-round.
There is a light bruise to the lower right corner but all others are clean, strong & square.
The top-opening edges are clean, sharp & unworn with just a 2cm 'rub' to the right edge of the front leaf.
The rear panel is as perfect as the front and displays a clear and bold 'stereo' logo.
The inside gatefold is 'as new' & completely undamaged.
The 1cm 'wide' spine's laminate is 100% intact without any splits and all the text is clear & readable.
